As some players have noticed, we’ve been adding invasion-style events featuring new types of creatures to Island Expeditions every week. Aside from adding a little variety, these also give you a chance to earn different cosmetic rewards.

Here's a schedule for the remaining events which will be added each week over the next couple of months:

Nice to see a schedule, but it's still not clear to me what these "invasions" really are, or what procs them. Like towards the end of an expedition in Skittering Hollow today, a bunch of Mogu showed up with mogu rarespawns and chests. Is this different from these "invasion-style" events? When are these invasions suppose to show up, or do they just show up randomly?

Thats the invasion. I too would like to know what it is the triggers them.

I've done 394803843948 invasions and seen a Pirate invasion ONE TIME. I want Sqawks. Did you nerf the rewards? Seems like people have started doing the rare runs they have dropped significantly. I'm not getting squat now and I run at least 30 a day when I do them.

yeah does this mean like, the fire elementals that have popped up in islands or the Saurok bands that appear at the end. also invasions havent been standard any week so is this a change? or are they going to randomly appear with no schedule?

At the end of the road will be even more hard to get the mounts cause you need to be lucky enough to get a pirate/mogu spawn among all other possible spawns in order to have chance to drop parrot/quilen mount :(

Your post is rather vague. Are these limited time, or simply new types of invasions that will permanently be able to spawn?

Beyond that, while adding even more cosmetic stuff, have you guys given any thought to the reward structure for islands? Currently the entire thing seems to be a giant RNG fest. Random mobs, random invasion, duplicate pets that can't be traded, and a massive reward list but with no way to ever target anything.

A very simple solution would be to make each mob type drop certain currencies or combineable items that you can use to purchase/create cosmetics.

These are permenant invasions, we've been seeing them added over time with stuff like Fire Elementals and Earth Elementals.
